The Bucs got another offensive player, going with West Virginia running back Charles Sims.

Sims started his career at Houston before transferring to West Virginia for one last season.

At 5-foot-11 and 213 pounds, Sims gives the Bucs another home run hitter. It gives offensive coordinator Jeff Tedford another player who has speed in space.

He rushed for 1,095 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2013. He also caught 45 passes for 401 yards and three scores.

“Charles is a very explosive athlete,” said Bucs General Manager Jason Licht. “He has great hands. He brings us a back not only 4.46 speed as a runner, but also as a receiver, this guy was the top receiving back in draft we felt. I always feel you can’t have enough backs especially when they have versatile skill sets.”

Sims also gives the Bucs insurance. Last year, the club lost Doug Martin and Mike James to season-ending injuries. Sims gives the Bucs another proven back.
